Android ListView background colors always showing grey.
- by fiXedd
I have a ListView that I'm populating from a custom ListAdapter. Inside the Adapter (in the getView(int, View, ViewGroup) method) I'm setting the background color of the View using setBackgroundColor(int). The problem is that no matter what color I set the background to it always comes out a dark grey. It might also be worth noting that I'm using the Light theme.
Relevant (simplified) bits of code:
AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity
android:name=".MyActivity"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light" />
MyAdapter.java:
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
View av = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_row, parent, false);
av.setBackgroundColor(R.color.myRow_red);
mName = (TextView) av.findViewById(R.id.myRow_name);
mName.setText("This is a name");
return av;
}
Any ideas/suggestions?
